Precision Brand 16460 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.01 in 1010

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16460 is a low carbon steel shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and leveling in industrial and mechanical applications. Measuring 0.01 inches thick, 120 inches long, and 12 inches wide, this roll provides enough material for a wide range of shimming tasks without the waste associated with pre-cut sheets. The 1010 low carbon steel construction offers good formability and consistent caliper throughout the roll. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians rely on this format when fitting bearings, aligning shafts, setting clearances, or shimming machinery bases.

This shim stock roll is suited for light industrial maintenance, OEM assembly, and field service work where controlled material thickness is required. The 12-inch width gives technicians flexibility to cut custom shim sizes to fit specific applications. The 120-inch roll length supports both small single-use cuts and repetitive production use. Common installation scenarios include machine tool alignment, conveyor and pump base leveling, and bearing housing fitment in both commercial and light manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 0.01-inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and alignment work
• 120-inch roll length provides ample material for multiple cuts
• 12-inch width allows custom shim sizing without additional slitting
• 1010 low carbon steel grade offers good formability and consistent caliper
• Roll format reduces handling damage compared to stacked sheet stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, machinery leveling, and clearance-setting applications where 1010 low carbon steel and 0.01-inch material thickness meet the required specification.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut and fitted by millwrights, machinists, or maintenance technicians using aviation snips, shears, or a utility knife against a straightedge. De-burr all cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces or personnel. Ensure the shimmed assembly is fully de-energized and depressurized before introducing shim material into load-bearing or dynamic interfaces. Verify final shim stack thickness with a calibrated micrometer before closing the assembly.
